Alex Lockwood

Alex Lockwood is Programme Leader for Magazine Journalism
at the University of Sunderland, specialising in the practice and
theory of green journalism, and the experience of global environmental
change. Much of the interest in this area evolved during his four years
as editor for the social justice and environment media platform
OneWorld (www.oneworld.net). He is also developing projects
around 21st century magazine
enterprise, and writing/literary theory. Since 1999, his
professional expertise has been in the development of content and
audiences, social media, digital project management, and the business
management of digital services for a range of private and public sector
organisations, including the
Cultural
Leadership Programme. He has worked with and trained journalists
in India, Zambia, the United States and the Balkans.

Alex is currently preparing a research project examining the
representation of the texts and effects of climate change across
media, from the press to literature, through the combination of
a set of language theories with the field of neuroscience. He
has provided communications consultancy to the UNDP for the
Millennium Development Goals campaign, and sat on the new media
steering group for the G8 Make Poverty History campaign.
